It was after ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking about the recent rugby, prepared for the next call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Alderton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark blue Hyundai Elantra rental by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may well trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather simply.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
